Water Quality Legend

Current Status

Grey means water quality information for the beach is too old (more than 7 days old) to be considered current, or that info is unavailable, or unreliable.

Historical Status

When swimming season is over or when a beach's water quality data has not been updated frequently enough (weekly) it goes into historical status. This means that rather than displaying current data it displays the beach's average water quality for that year.

Green means the beach passed water quality tests 95% of the time or more.

Yellow means the beach passed water quality tests 60-95% of the time.

Red means the beach failed water quality tests 40% of the time or more.

Special Status

We may manually set the status for a specific beach if we have concerns about the sampling protocol, if there is an emergency, if monitoring practices don't exist or have recently changed, or other reasons that render this site "special."

Green means the beach has historically excellent or pristine water quality, but there is no current data.

Red means the water at the site has water quality issues or there is an emergency.

Grey means there is no current water quality information, the beach is under construction, there has been an event that has rendered water quality information unreliable or unavailable.

See the beach description for more information regarding their special status.

Rotary Park

Rotary Park is a popular place for fisherman, kayakers and boaters. Nestled along the Chattahoochee Riverwalk this area is south of the whitewater region. River flows and levels do fluctuate at this location due to water being released a few miles upstream at North Highlands Dam. There is a public boat launch and ramp along with a bait and tackle shop. Restrooms are also located here at the top of the ramp.

Historical Status

This status is based on the latest sample, taken on August 30th, 2018. Chattahoochee River Conservancy updates the status of this beach as soon as test results become available. These results were posted to Swim Guide on at

Chattahoochee River Conservancy staff and volunteers monitor water quality at various sites throughout the region. Sampling season starts a week prior to Memorial Day and ends the week following Labor Day. Water is sampled for Escherichia coli (E. coli) at all sites.

Chattahoochee River Conservancy utilizes the standardized state criteria of 235 E. coli/100 ml for collecting and analyzing water samples. Test results are expressed as Most Probable Number (MPN) of E. coli Colony Forming Units (CFU) per 100 mL.

Water samples are collected weekly, generally on Wednesdays and Thursdays, with data available by Friday afternoon. Results will be communicated through the Swim Guide app and will be posted on Chattahoochee River Conservancy's social media sites, including Facebook. They are also available by calling Chattahoochee River Conservancy at (706) 649-2326. To report an issue, email: henry@chattahoocheeriverconservancy.org

Advisories are issued when the latest sample results indicate the site is unsafe for swimming. A site is determined to be unsafe for swimming if E. coli values exceed the state criteria of 235MPN/100mL.. These sites will be represented by a “red” status.

A “green” status will be issued when the latest sample result has less than or equal to 235 MPN/100 mL, and therefore meets state criteria.

A "grey" status will be issued when there are no current results or no data available for that area.
